No Country Woman by Zoya Patel
challenging
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
I first heard of Zoya Patel from her contribution to the anthology After Australia. I looked into several authors from that book, and had her memoir on my TBR ever since.
I recommended this book to so many friends while reading it (which bumped it up from 4 to 4.5 stars). As someone in Australia, I have many friends who have experienced the idea of not being Australian enough, being a kind of 'no country' person. Reading this has helped me understand their experiences more. Cultural identity in Australia is complex, and this book goes into it really well.
